am i sick?

die.. weijia just sent me this article.. people who shop too much.. may be sick!! ahhhh... the article can be found here.

here's the excerpt:

Can't stop shopping? You might have a disorder
-
The Straits Times


Compulsive buying is just as common in men as in women, a nationwide telephone survey has found, and in its extreme forms, may be a psychiatric illness

(hmmm....)
...

...

Dr Lorrin Koran, the study's lead author and emeritus professor of psychiatry at Stanford University, said compulsive buyers commonly suffer from other psychiatric disorders.

(oh ohh..)
...
...

'Compulsive buying, like pathological gambling, may lead to bankruptcy, divorce, loss of employment and even suicide attempts,' Dr Koran said.

(shit.. =X )

bla bla bla.. (article goes on..)

seems like i'm in a pretty bad shape.. i shop non-stop!! lol.. never go shopping center also can shop online at home! hahaha...

okok... i'm just joking.. if you read the full article, they said that these people just dun care what they buy.. they just spend money for the sake of it.. I'm different. I sniff out good deals before I buy muahahahahaha..

so... I'm not sick!! (I hope... ok.. let's just not go any deeper >.<)
